Mark, whatever would I do without you. These are all really important links and ideas and I doubt I’d have bandwidth to run them down much less listen. God bless you and I need to find your tip jar.
Is there even such a thing? What I see is a stage managed event, like just about everything else up to this point. Going after USAID is just red meat for the MAGA heads. My guess is they've already outlived their usefulness (look at their more recent failures) and are more useful as tokens to throw to the wolves than as an ongoing concern. You can always resurrect them in another form anyway, so what's the loss?
Saw that. I find Benz a bit difficult to listen too. He's kinda out there too far for me sometimes. Obviously has lots of opinions. Was surprised Tucker had him on.
Mike Benz has a wealth of information on USAID, cia, and ilk, but seemed shallow at time. What made the interview more interesting was Tuckers comments and challenges, such as:
Black lives Matters was a U.S. government supported revolution.
Or how the same tactics used overseas, mirrors actions in the U.S. with the example of Charlottesville and Jan 6.
Or how Tucker thinks the military was heavily involved in Jan 6.
Remember how Trump was not supposed to win the first time? That first win saved us from the same fate as the UK. I recall during O’s time in office it was all about managed decline and how America wasn’t that great or deserving after all. And I myself was resigned to the fate of Big H winning in ‘16. Fighting the fix was in, and hunkering down. As chaotic and exhausting the last 8-10 years have seemed to be, without that first Trump win, we’d be living through our very own downfall today. That’s the path they had planned for us like the UK and the rest of Europe.
We're still on that path as far as I can tell. Look at what passes for Trump's economic policy. Tariffs? That is so 19th century. If they work at all it's only in specific cases where there's a power imbalance between exporter and importer. Otherwise the exporter will just look elsewhere to sell their products and good luck ever getting them back without paying a premium. Time is money and they're not going to wait around 4 years to get their US market back.
For example, steel and aluminum demand has been very strong these past few years and continues to be so as parts of the world, especially Asia, are building like crazy. As a RE developer, you'd think Trump would know this (*). I expect the same will be true of many imported items, especially in the commodities. Producers will just look elsewhere to sell their products and there's plenty of demand for just about everything right now.
I think the plan is to run everything down, wages, stocks, bonds, land etc. then buy it all up at the bottom. Easy to do if you control bank credit issuance on a global scale. That's all Trump's presidency is - a continuation of the Great Squeeze, knocking the minor players out of the game to preside over, not the world economy, that ship has sailed already, but what's left of the Collective West after it's been thoroughly looted. Basically Neo-Feudalism.
(*) I'm convinced Trump doesn't know much about anything. I had a friend like that. Couldn't tell him anything, he knew it all, and some of it was so badly misinformed as to make one cringe.

Thanks very much. I don't actually accept money.
"Is the UK ready for a Trump style revolt?"

Speaking of Samantha Power e.g. kickbacks and cutouts... https://x.com/Natsecjeff/status/1888596529851609341
Interesting and strange Interview by Tucker of Mike Benz.
At times it seems as if Mike Benz is attempting a limited hangout.
Some of the allegations are mind blowing.
Quote “When it’s too dirty for the cia, USAID gets it”
Or USAID worked with Mexican drug cartels.
My view - Any country that allowed USAID operate in it would need to be insane or co-opted.

I can't put a finger on it, but I find him difficult to listen to as well.

If Britain keeps nagging Russia,
Russia might fix all their problems permanently

True but we'd still be in "the Matrix" if HRC had her way.
